And paused before heading to Hamley’s, the British equivalent of FAO Schwartz, with five floors of toys!

I loved their Lego version of the Royal Wedding.

From Regent Street, we took a cab to Covent Garden. We stopped for some fresh juice at Neal’s Yard, a cozy little courtyard with a few restaurants and close to the famous Neal’s Yard Dairy. Neal’s Yard is where the production offices for Monty Python used to be.

Then it was on to the Apple Store in Covent Garden.

Finally, we walked back along the river to our hotel by Tate Modern before dinner.

Love Persephone Books — the covers are so beautiful, they make great gifts. There used to be a store along my daily commute on Kensington Church St., which made it hard to resist the temptation to stop in constantly to buy something.

I haven’t been inside a Liberty store for years – would love a snuffle round there. And I agree with Jennifer – what lovely paper choices from Persephone.
But what really made me pause was the lego Prince William: how spookily life-like!!
